Chair #9 (Olallie)

I It had taken the better part of a month to walk the three hundred or so miles between White Pass and Olallie Lake, where my next support package would be waiting. But when I finally showed up at the little bait and tackle shop—way up in the Cascades of central Oregon—I was told it hadn’t yet arrived. It would be another week before the next batch of mail was brought up, possibly longer.  I…

Even though this page is about my favorite type of fishing, from the surf, I started out like most other fishermen and women by fishing for Bluegill and Bass. Once I got old enough to tie on my own lure I was completely hooked on Bass fishing. My favorite lure to use being the classic spinner bait. As I got older I would try different techniques but I always stuck to lake fishing. It wasn’t until about 8 years ago that I discovered surf fishing. My father-in-law was an avid fisherman and hunter and he was the first person to introduce me to surf fishing. He was a very big influence on that part of my life and he taught me so much about fishing and just about how to be happy in life. We miss him every day. However, this post isn’t meant to be a sad one, because every time I pick up a fishing rod I remember the great times we spent fishing and all of the things that I learned. Surf fishing let’s me reflect on life with the sound of the waves crashing along the beach. It is my favorite therapy and without it I would go insane!

In the absence of any chance of fishing for the near (or far) future, I’ve been going through some old fishing diaries. Trying to decipher my terrible scrawl has been tricky. Maybe my teachers were correct all along when they said that my work “could have been neater.”) This piece won me second prize (a copy of The History Of Carp Fishing.) The subject was Childhood fishing memories. The winning entry must have been amazing! Apologies for any grammatical errors- but I’ve resisted the urge to type it up again #fishing #fishingstories #mustwritemore (at Foxed Finds) https://www.instagram.com/p/B-M0eupFT45/?igshid=190g6ll3vl2tn

Photographer Angus James was fortunate enough to capture this shot. He said: “As I was pulling my lure from the fish to release back into the water I noticed two little eyes looking back at me from inside the fish’s mouth. After capturing this picture, the little green tree frog leaped straight past my head onto the nearest tree. It was one of the coolest things I have seen in my life! This is one lucky frog!” #lucky #luckycharms #frogpose #frogs #fishing🐟 #naturephotography #fishingstories #photooftheday #photographer #freedomday (at Lower Haight, San Francisco) https://www.instagram.com/p/B97DLjFhb3y2gdNS-l3OwNkD1UH1hv7TX4g6ec0/?igshid=1lps1n9pjk1u2

A giant kingfisher with a giant catch! A great shot by Cara and Van @readysetsafari. Not all kingfisher species regularly hunt fish, despite the name. The ‘halcyon’ kingfishers are often found away from water and hunt reptiles and bugs. The ‘fishing’ kingfishers, like this giant kingfisher, will typically perch over water looking for prey before swooping to grab the target with its bill. If successful, it will return to the perch, and start smashing the fish against the rock or branch to break the bones and swallow the fish whole! I hope this guy didn’t get indigestion after this bumper meal...! More Kruger stories and photos available on the blog as ever - link above in profile! . We are building the KrugerExplorer App! It will be a beautiful wildlife field guide with detailed profiles and photos on 300+ animals plus a routes guide with more than 70 of our favourite routes detailed with explanations on the landscape and what wildlife you might be able to see! It has been a huge undertaking but we’re nearing the finish line and hope to launch in June 2019. There is loads more info on our website (see above bio link) - please check it out! 👆🏻👆🏻👆🏻 . @krugerexplorer #krugerexplorer #krugernationalpark #safari #africanwildlife #thisissouthafrica #wildlifelovers #fantasticbeasts #amazinganimals #giantkingfisher #kingfisher #kingfishers #bird #birds #bird_lovers #birdwatching #birdsofsouthafrica #birding_lounge #fishing #fishingstories (at Kruger National Park) https://www.instagram.com/p/BxM-x6CgJZj/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=vnc1tyw3zjlp

Much needed time off

Just what I needed today; got out fishing with my oldest friend. My cousin Steven. This guy has been fishing as often as he can since before we could walk. As a kid I would go fishing almost as often, but life goes on, we get busy, and I go fishing only once or twice a year, and it’s always with this guy. 

We drove down from home to where I grew up for an early Easter dinner, and to meet my other cousins new baby girl. It was late at night when we came down, so I wore my pjs and slippers.. I forgot to bring other shoes.. So this morning I went to Canadian Tire in my slippers, bought boots, thick socks, gloves, and my fishing licience, cause darnit, when we want to go fishing, we want to go fishing. 

This was a real short fish; only about half an hour. Usually it’s me that wants to leave, and these guys are “saying one more cast. One more cast”, but this time was the opposite. I was just so happy sitting there with my worm and bobber talking about anything but work. 

Thank you Steven, and Uncle John for the short, but worth while time to get the lines wet. To the rest of you, till next time!
